Great to hear about this James, watching with interest.
A shame to see that the issues that were exposed with the AT8" (of which I see you have as well) haven't been addressed. The collimation system on the primary is farcical, one set pushing, and one set pulling OK, but not when they are "apart", as all it means is the cell twists or alignment is altered. I simply removed the "push" knobs on my AT8".
Again, the AT8" focuser base area is pathetic, I made a stiff metal reinforcing section that helped the stiffness of the tube. And that is with the AT8" with a 2" (Feather Touch in my case) focuser.
Baffles or flocking on the agenda soon?
Regards,
Gary
